The crowd gasped in surprise, and halfway through, the short-haired woman opened first, her tone mocking.
-Are you there? Where? -Don't be ridiculous.
And the crowd murmured again.
-Really? Didn't they say there was only one piece in the world?
-Yes, how is it possible that I have another one?
-It can't be, this Miss Carballo is already perfect, look how well it suits her.
-Yes, it's practically made to measure!
...
Miss Carballo was someone he could not afford to offend, and he was sure that her dress was authentic.
-I can't go on like this, how can I do business with more and more people watching? -How can I do business?
-Miss, since you say you have the genuine article, please show it, or let your friend pay for Miss Carballo's loss.
-Micaela... -Ana touched Micaela with concern in her eyes.
-It's all right," Micaela reassured Ana and looked at Katarina. The clothes are at my house, I'm going to get them now, give me 20 minutes.
-Are you going to run away?
-Don't ever let her go!
-Pay at once, Miss Carballo must be genuine!
The crowd murmured again.
-Well, I'll give you 20 minutes, but your friend must stay here! -said Katarina in a loud voice.
Micaela nodded, looked at Ana and left the cafeteria.
Katarina sat back down, as did the short-haired woman.
The owner rushed to evacuate everyone, but none of them left, and everyone found a seat in the coffee and even ordered drinks.
How can you leave like that when you're watching the show to see the grand finale, of course?
The owner immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Hahaha, I never thought this feud would help me make money!"
Ana was also very conscious and found a seat as far as Katarina could see.
The short-haired woman looked at Ana blankly and said to Katarina.
-That woman is so out of it!
Katarina looked at the dress, she really liked it and didn't think her fiance was lying to her.
-Katarina, make a call to your fiance, who knows what that woman is going to do next!
Katarina was a little hesitant.
-Hurry up, we have to go see the wedding dress later anyway, don't we?
Katarina also thought her best friend was right and called her boyfriend.
Thus, Micaela took a cab down, told the car to stand still and got out herself.
Opening the door to her room, Micaela went straight to it and opened the dress she had placed in the corner of the closet.
She reached out and took it off.
It was the dress Carlos had given her at the hotel when Micaela first met him.
She had no idea it was so big.
She was sure Carlos had given her the real one.
These pearls were proof of that.
"But why did he give me such an expensive dress when we first met?"
Thinking that Ana was waiting for her, Micaela thought no more.
Micaela put on the dress and tried to leave, but suddenly thought that if she came back she would have to prove that the dress was hers again, so she quickly put it on and took out the dress she was wearing from home in a bag.
As she left the room, Micaela's foot slipped and she grabbed the wall to keep from falling.
"Why was there a trickle of water on the floor?" Micaela frowned....
"Ana is still waiting for me..."
Micaela closed the door and hurried down the stairs.
At the coffee shop, Katarina's fiancé had arrived.
The owner hurried to greet him warmly.
If it isn't the oldest gentleman in the Franco Group, Antonio Franco.
-Mr. Antonio, welcome!
Katarina's face was somber as she looked at her fiancé.
Antonio was also very surprised.
"What's wrong?"
-Katarina, listen to me explain?
Katarina pulled her hand away from Antonio's.
Antonio couldn't help but frown and look at Micaela.
"How did she get this dress?..... Wait, this woman, why does she look familiar!"
Micaela approached Katarina in front of her.
Ana pounced on her, saying excitedly.
-Ah, this is absolutely authentic! Anyone with eyes can see it.
The audience echoed.
Katarina clenched her fists. Indeed, anyone with eyes could see it.
The one she was wearing was certainly worth a lot of money, but the one Micaela was wearing was the real thing.
Seeing was believing, so Katarina was convinced and even grateful to Micaela in her heart.
Otherwise, she would never have known that Antonio had cheated on her with a fake!
Micaela looked at Katarina and asked:
-Is your promise still valid?
The short-haired woman was also furious and pulled at Katarina, trying to tell her not to let the woman go.
However, Katarina replied with great dignity.
-Of course, yours is worthy of James' reputation.
-Mine is probably, as someone just said, bespoke.
-Well, you may go, you need not pay me for it.
Micaela nodded, appreciating that Katarina kept her word, and pulled Ana with her and prepared to leave.
However, Antonio shouted.
-Stop!
